save Royal Mail, use Freepost!

The Campaign for Real Mail (CARMA) is the name I give to a geeky but fun way to fight junk mail.

When you receive anything unsolicited through your letter box with a Business Reply Paid or Freepost address, send it. Always send the coupon before you save the planet and recycle it. This forces the sender to pay Royal Mail for the postage plus an administration element. If enough people do this the marketeers will need to think again.

This is not an original Ingrate idea but is one that is worth publicising.

At Ingrate Towers we would not condone doing this with genuine charity campaigns. Definitely do it when your Local Authority asks your opinion!

Health Warning
CARMA can be addictive and should be used responsibly. Never use threatening or offensive language or real addresses and telephone numbers when completing forms.
